I got "Network Effect" and "The Murderbot Diaries Vol. 1" in Japanese because I am insane. So I guess now I'm going to read Murderbot in Japanese.

Or I am reading Murderbot in Japanese, because I was flipping pages and reading words aloud in Japanese and understanding them. That is reading. That's what it is.

Yayyy more Murderbot!! It is always such a weird feeling to be like "ok I am practicing to do the thing" and then realizing "oh no wait I am doing the thing"

Like I used to have to always use my phone camera to be able to share text in Japanese because I couldn't read it well enough to be able to type and all the Posting I've been doing on Tumblr and Bluesky is me just straight up typing words because I can read them. That's NUTS. I did have to look up some verbs for stuff like I didn't know but I'm doing it by re-writing the words with my finger and using my online dictionary lol. I wouldn't say that I feel confidently literate or anything, but I guess I CAN read.
